Exciting Facebook Content Ideas

If you’re like most bloggers, coming up with a blog post could occasionally be extremely demanding, as you are required to discover fresh content frequently.

Same is true with Facebook pages; Social media marketers,whether running a brand or a community page, are faced with the same confront every so often.

Aside from running out of ideas, there is the additional challenge of getting the community to engage in every post you publish. Not to worry however, I have listed here a numeral of tips you can apply to ensure you never run out of worth-sharing Facebook content ideas.

1. Keep a notepad with you wherever you go.

We come up with ideas daily, but we classically tend to forget them. Do you write down ideas that pop up while you are in the shower? On public carrying? Or even while tossing and turning in bed at night? The problem, it seems, is not always just about ruling ideas, but documenting them. Try to keep a notepad, be it on a paper or digital, when promising.

 2. use your Facebook content calendar.

Once you have all the ideas listed on your notepad, it’s now time to sort out all of them in your content calendar. Having a content or editorial calendar is essential to every marketer since they help with planning ahead, identify the key objectives you’re missing and keeping you on track. When you run out of ideas, simply grab your calendar and review the content from the last three months or so. This should help you to enlarge fresh ideas.

 3. Turn everyday stories into content ideas

Write down story thoughts from what you see…
…movies you watch
…conversations you have
…conferences you go to
…successes you achieve
…mistakes you make
Everyday stories are fuel for pleased ideas you can use on community pages. Storytelling ideas, particularly when crafted properly, often go viral. With all of the stories you likely encounter daily, you may never run out things to share!

4. Generate a Keyword List

You will not only be able to come up with new content ideas, but also be capable to find the most-searched, what has worked, and what will possibly work on Facebook.

When you run out of images to post, you can always switch to other type of content that could give you the same amount of social grip. Videos, screencasts, cartoons and other visuals also do well on Facebook.
You can always re-use and repurpose some content ideas you pull from how-tos and list articles which have previously been posted and turn them into infographics, or recycle text posts and turn them to image posts.

6. Read Industry news, niche sites and communities
 

As the cliche goes, interpretation is exercise for the mind. Not only would it make you more productive, but also make you imaginative. When you’re tapped for content ideas, check out the most read articles in your industry in various communities, content and niche sites. Make a list of relevant niche sites and communities and donate to to them. Scan their timeline and find those posts you can make use of, whether to spin them, cite them or expose them.

 7. Make every competitor’s page a source of ideas
 

Normally, when I do an audit for a Facebook page, I make sure to visit competitor pages and list all their strengths and weaknesses. Doing this enables me to benchmark their strategies, find out what’s already working for the industry and come up with great ideas.
Make use of the list characteristic of Facebook. Create a list of your competitor’s page so you can visit the list once in a while when you’re trying to come up with ideas for content.
